Anthropic Launches IPO Roadshow, Targeting Up to $1.4 Trillion Valuation

Anthropic has officially launched its IPO: the roadshow begins November 10 (ET), the registration statement has been filed with the SEC, offering up to 825 million Class A common shares priced at $70–78 per share, implying a fully diluted valuation of roughly $1.4 trillion at the top end. The stock will list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT. The schedule calls for pricing on November 18 and trading to begin Thursday, November 19 (subject to regulatory approval), potentially making it one of the largest IPOs in AI history—or any industry.

Confirmed

• Anthropic's official account announced the IPO roadshow; the registration statement has been filed with the SEC but is not yet effective (m1).
• Offering structure: up to 825 million Class A common shares, price range $70–78 per share, top-end valuation of roughly $1.4 trillion, Nasdaq listing under ticker ANT; of which about 801,3… (post truncated; underwriting/offering details per official filings) (m7).
• At the top of the range, the offering would raise about $64.4 billion, of which roughly $62.5 billion comes from Anthropic… (details truncated) (m13).
• Timeline: roadshow November 10, pricing November 18, listing November 19 (m5, m17). CNBC's Leslie Picker reported the $70–78 range is fully covered by institutional investors on an allocable basis—technically oversubscribed—with about 20% of the offering reserved for retail investors (m16).
• Per the Financial Times, less than a day after pricing details were disclosed, banks were considering raising the offer price due to strong demand, targeting a $1.4 trillion valuation, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley leading the underwriting; poster firstadopter noted WSJ's initial coverage had a negative framing (m2).

Unconfirmed

• Early rumors varied: WSJ reported a valuation around $1.3 trillion, below Wall Street expectations (m3); another WSJ report cited a target of about $1.5 trillion with trading possibly starting as early as Thursday or Friday next week (m14); The Information's Paayal Vachhani reported a preliminary range of $1.26–$1.4 trillion, slightly below investor expectations (m10); Kalshi relayed a wire report claiming a $1 trillion target (m8). The final word is the roadshow range of $70–78 (up to $1.4 trillion).
• Per Reuters (via @wallstengine), seven tech giants—Google, Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, Micron, Microsoft, and TSMC—plan to subscribe via private placement at the IPO price, totaling about $26 billion, with a maximum of $69.3 billion (m9).
• Levels.fyi estimates: if it lists at a $1.5 trillion valuation ($87 per share), stock grants for employees who joined in 2023 (Series C) could be worth up to 78x their value, with huge variance by join year (m6).

Why it matters

• This is the first IPO by a frontier AI lab (nmasc), a landmark moment for top labs entering capital markets following OpenAI, and a major test of Wall Street's AI enthusiasm (pstAsiatech).
• Whether the price is raised and how institutional vs. retail demand is structured will directly shape sentiment for AI-sector valuations; 0xSammy used the occasion to renew calls for independent, tamper-proof audit trails of AI agents' decisions and actions (m4, m11).
• User Aizkmusic joked that the IPO listing date collides with the GTA 6 release—a side note that underscores just how much attention the event is drawing (m17).
